A Law Undo His-Elf What Welcome

Behold the comedy event horizon. The new show from multi-award winning comedian Tony Law is inimitable surreal comedy-art at its best. A sort of comedy which means nothing, and yet everything. You will feel sick with awe. You will barf wonder.

Male Comedienne

Last year Fern Brady wasn’t invited to the Annual Female Comedians Brunch. She was devastated. This show lists every reason she might not have been invited. After selling out for a second year at the Fringe with no advertising or PR, Fern brings her critically acclaimed show about gender, class and Catholicism to Exeter. As seen on Russell Howard’s Stand Up Central, 8 Out of 10 Cats and Stewart Lee’s Alternative Comedy Experience.

The Halo Effect

Join Gareth Richards, Foster’s Edinburgh Comedy Awards’ best newcomer nominee 2010 for his sixth solo show of hilarious stand-up, and gorgeously low-key comedy songs. As seen on Russell Howard’s Good News and Live at the Electric (BBC3) and heard on Frank Skinner’s Sony Award-winning Absolute Radio show, BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 4!

Don't Feed The Monkey Man

David Earl’s alter ego, Brian Gittins, is an utter prat and according to the Sussex Argus, ‘The World’s Worst Comedian’. However, Brian’s not having any of it and he’s back with a live show (sponsored by Rampoo – Shampoo for rams). It promises dancing, singing and knock knock jokes. So, if you like watching a 42 year old man prancing around like a moron, come and see the newly invigorated Brian before he’s bedridden with performance anxiety.

Foreign Policy

In his third nationwide tour “Britain’s greatest living anti-comedian” (The Guardian) wades headlong in to the thorny issue of Foreign Policy. ‘Aczel turns unprofessionalism into an art form’ The Times

David Trent boomerangs back to Exeter to perform a work in progress of his fourth full length comedy show. It’s a multimedia show about robot sex clocks, a city that has its own operating system, Foxconn anti suicide nets, Samsung virtual bedtimes and the European lightbulb directive. If you haven’t seen him then come down, you won’t have seen anything like it before!

Best Laid Plans

Comedian Rachel Parris, star of Austentatious, The IT Crowd and BBC 2’s Murder In Successville, presents her award-nominated show. Best Laid Plans is a mixture of her trademark musical comedy anthems, which have been heard on BBC Radio 4 and BBC 6 Music, and “endearingly frank and funny” stand-up.

Cakes

Join Bilal as he takes you on a hilarious journey of how his Twitter handle, @zafarcakes, became a focal point for the misguided rage of the global far right when it was mistaken for the account of a Muslim-only bakery. Having provoked the outrage of such defenders of Britishness as Katie Hopkins, EDL supporters and the Daily Star, Cakes shows how BILAL used humour to respond to the prejudice and abuse increasingly faced by British Muslims today.

We are celebrating 20 years of Exeter Comedy club events at the Corn Exchange. Every show features 4 top performers and everyone gets a seat at the table. The bar serves throughout and our fabulous pizzas are available during the intervals. March Comedy Club will feature (subject to change) Bryan Lacey, Darren Harriott, George Riden and Mickey Sharma.

Feathers

After his Fosters award-nominated, sell-out debut show, Adam Hess, star of Live at the BBC, is back and he’s cooler and taller than ever! He’s a funny guy, has good manners and no matter how dark or light it is when he leaves the cinema he’s always surprised.

Best Of

Stuart does all the comedy at Turtle Canyon Comedy and supported James Acaster on tour. He’s got a ‘best of’ show to present to you; skimming the cream from his first four hours to present an absolute surefire hit.

Compared To What

Fresh from appearances on ‘Russell Howard’s Stand Up Central’ (Comedy Central), ‘As Yet Untitled’ (Dave) and a month of packed houses at the Edinburgh Fringe, Stuart Goldsmith presents a new hour of comedy, mostly about becoming a parent. Finding himself uprooted from his adoptive city and press-ganged into a pastoral existence by a cunning girl, Stu considers the big questions and wonders: how much compromise is too much?

Edinburgh Fringe Preview

Writer and performer on the late-night comedy sketch show Funny Girls, Rose was nominated for Best Newcomer at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival last year. In 2016 she made her Edinburgh debut with her show Finally Dead, which enjoyed success from both audiences and critics. The Guardian described it as “an emphatic start to Matafeo’s fringe career”. Don’t miss the chance to see Rose try out new material for her next Edinburgh Fringe show.

Something Better

This is a show about optimism and hopefulness and about looking for people and things to look up to. The new stand-up show by the star of Radio 4’s Romance and Adventure, presenter of Radio 4’s Shortcuts and three-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee.

We are bronte

Morecambe and Wise meets David Lynch in this madcap reimagining of the Brontë myth, presented in Publick Transport’s playful and irreverent style. Taking the real and fictitious worlds of Yorkshire’s literary siblings as their inspiration, two performers combine rigorous physical theatre with anarchic comedy to deconstruct not only gothic themes of love, madness and revenge, but also themselves.

Fasten your seat belts, multi award-winning comedy troupe Slightly Fat Features are crashing into Exeter with a night of entertainment, incredible acts, original live music and most importantly lots and lots of laughs.

The Red Shed

Mark Thomas returns to where he first performed Wakefield Labour club - a red wooden shed. Part theatre, stand-up, journalism and activism. It is the story of the battle for hope and the survival of a community.
